Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.121
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
An option to specify the location of the apt cache would be useful, for
instance, when using pbuilder to build packages for both Debian and a
derivative on the same system. One could use it to ensure that debs from
Debian proper and from the derivative would never be mixed.
The patch to implement this is really minimal and non-intrusive, and
does not change default behaviour either. I believe I have included all
the necessary documentation.
Best Regards,
Danilo
